Intestinal Health Institute

November 2006 Newsletter

Sheila Shea, Director

520-325-9686

Latest from the Office

We want to gear this newsletter toward those who experience difficulty with colonics. Maybe you have on come in one time or maybe you have done a series. You get very little out, you feel discouraged or you feel psychologically challenged.

The road to release may be long. Spontaneous, thorough and pleasurable releases are possible. They do happen. You have to hang in, be persistent and go for the gold.

I had a colonic yesterday. I felt nervous which I usually do. I had intense urgency and had to get up and go to the bathroom. On return, I released tons of gas, mucus and more stool. I see myself as a challenging case, especially the psychological part of being nervous before and sometimes uncomfortable during. And, I've been doing this since 1975! Colon hydrotherapy so accurately reflects our internal states and/or changes them. It's paradoxical.

We want to encourage you to get over the hump. You might feel some discomfort, psychological overwhelm or why bother since you got nothing out the first time or series. Some people choose not to return after this. However, you are still leaving the original intestinal and related issues unsolved. Remember, the gut is a mystery that needs to be solved! As we get older, health issues only compound. Hard work is worthwhile.

We encourage you to take the time now to dedicate some energy to getting your GI tract moving, energetically, psychologically and emotionally. You could also begin to think about colonics the way you do about dental cleaning. It's maintenance and prevention not emergency.

School News

We just graduated another wonderful student. She is an RN with 10 years experience in nutritional counseling in a medical setting. The medical director is now adding colon hydrotherapy as part of their overall health program!

As I grow in teaching and learning at our Intestinal Health Institute School, I realize more about marketing and how important it is. I want to devote a few words to it.

Who is your target market? Who are you?

Given that nearly all people could receive colon hydrotherapy except when contraindicated, who is your population that you want to attract and work with?

You are not only working on your target market, you are defining yourself.

Who do you like to talk to, listen to, work with and enjoy? Who do you feel comfortable with?

What are examples of different markets? I list a few markets I've come up with based on my practice: students, the various decades in life such as the 20's to 50's, families, friends, highly motivated to change, the obese, the elderly, children, infants, prenatal, disabled, GI colonoscopy prep, pre and post surgery, eating disordered, fasters, cleansers, mentally ill. One could also look at zip codes near the office and income and education level. We also have regular calls from travelers; actors, athletes and business people.

Additional notes on eating disorders. The main eating disorders I witness are overeating and bingeing.

As for the mentally ill, we see people with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, bipolarity, OCD, schizophrenia and withdrawal.

Do you feel comfortable working with emotional release that some people experience during the colonic session?

Would you feel comfortable working on an AIDS person?

Some of you will work in clinics where you are assigned your appointments daily. You will not be involved in marketing however you will notice that you gravitate more toward some people than others and vice versa.

Some markets are very small such as children and infants and you might want to combine markets to make a complete practice.

The frequency of who receives colonics follows the classic bell curve. There are fewer infants and children, a few teens, more in the 20's to 50's and then the numbers begin tapering off. Many people think that only the elderly receive colonics when in fact fewer of them do in comparison with the whole age population. It's not that the elderly do not need them. That is where education and marketing come in.

Sometimes when you begin a practice, you will need to take every case you can get to build up. You also get to know what markets you prefer.

You want to harmonize as much as possible with each client for everyone's PEACE and RELAXATION. Release happens through peace and relaxation.

The key is to cultivate and attract who and what you love in a practice. This is best for you and the client.

Sheila's Glog or Gut Log

Another time of Traveling and Pooping concerns. I returned from Santa Fe NM on September 23, late Saturday night. I got a call the next night from my friend, Lynn Gardner http://www.lynngardner.com, a tour guide for Egypt and Central America. A crisis had occurred with one of the participants on the Egypt trip leaving September 26, Tuesday morning! Could I rally and take her place for the 2-week adventure. I said yes and packed my enema bag!

The trip was sensational and I encourage you to contact her about her upcoming trip November 29 - December 8, 2006 to Guatemala and Belize exploring ancient Mayan life, the Mayan gods, spirits and cosmology. Lynn's focus is on the sacred and personal transformation.

I decided it was wisest to take an enema nightly. I felt better physically and also, psychologically. The bathrooms were spacious, the weather warm and enema taking was comfortable and easy.

On another note, my brother, Michael Shea PhD, is offering a 4-day Abdominal Visceral Manipulation Workshop in Tucson AZ April 12-15 of 2007. I'm putting out advance notice now. All registration is through me. I have the link for you to look at the details. The link is also on the front page of my website. I look forward to a very exciting 4 days with him. The work is so relevant to the intestines and their manipulation.

Julianne's Corner

This past month I experienced a part of myself that I did not want to recognize. Who is/was this person and what is/are her purpose/her needs? Here is the short version. Since I was a teenager, I have been committed to leading a healthy lifestyle. Even when I did not have a quarter of the information I do now, I made my best effort to eat healthy and exercise.

After attending a Kundalini Yoga Retreat, I returned and began to eat things way outside my normal diet such as popcorn, peanut M&M's, pasta, bread, cheese crisps, enchiladas, chips and salsa. It was fun and I didn't care, I just ate what I wanted, when I wanted - regardless of whether I was hungry or not. In addition to this, I didn't exercise at all. This was very unusual for me and after a week, it became somewhat scary to experience this foreign person.

At the time, I didn't know what was happening. Now I know that I had swung on the pendulum from diligence to carelessness in diet and exercise. How did that happen? I think the retreat created a shift in my being. How did I feel with this break in my diligent self-care? I felt frustrated with my lack of control and lack of concern. I felt uncomfortable in my body because I felt sluggish and bloated. When I looked in the mirror, I didn't like what I saw. I looked at myself and said, "Who are you? What the heck are you doing?"

How did I find my way back to center? During this two-week stint, I didn't have control over myself or me - that's a scary place to be. I'm not usually in that place except with chocolate, that's a vice of mine. Now I know what people feel like when they want to lose weight and attempt to change their lifestyle and cannot seem to break bad habits. I was a prisoner of my mind. What came to mind that helped me shift out of this were the words of Anthony Robbins. He says that we do things to avoid pain and that usually; we won't actually make a change (like give up certain foods, or unhealthy relationships) because we associate too much pain with the action and fail to look ahead to the positive effects.

For example, I don't want to give up pizza and beer because I think that NOT having the pizza and beer is going to be more painful than the pleasure I'll experience from feeling healthier from making healthy food choices. So then, I just keep choosing pizza and beer, even though my stomach hurts every time I eat it. Or, I do not want to break up with my boyfriend because I associate 'being alone' as more painful than getting out of this unhealthy relationship, so I just choose to stay in it.

This is what people do. They think it is going to be hell on the other side, hence change never happens. That's why you've heard the phrase "People don't change." I disagree. People DO change and CAN change. The key is - IF they want to. It's a choice.

For me, at the time, eating ice cream brought more pleasure (albeit temporary) and the thought of leaving my ice cream behind was painful. However, since I knew what Anthony Robbins said, I was able to get out of my plunder by making a decision. I said, "Okay Miss Julianne, that's enough - I'm done and I'm getting back to my routine with more flexibility".

I share this story to remind you and myself that we are powerful human beings with weak minds that need to be trained. We CAN make these changes, we simply have to make a choice and then discipline ourselves and stay committed. Commitment leads to happiness and change.

Now, after reflecting on my behavior, I believe that after many years of diligence my body and mind shifted to an extreme in order to break me out of my rigid world. Experiencing myself in this way has helped me remember that only through loving myself totally and completely will I be able to love others and have true compassion for them.

And remember, the normal path of change is to fall away from our routine and then come back to it. So tonight, when I sat down to write this section of the newsletter I ate three cookies. Right away, my mind wants to get into judgment, and I respond by re-committing and restating my intentions. This is what people don't talk about! The struggle to make changes and stay the course. It is a daily recommitment, just like relationships are work. The relationship with our food and ourselves is one too.

If you've given up on yourself, think you're weak or don't have the discipline, I am here to remind you that you DO! You can make the changes you want and both Sheila and I support you. You just have to keep choosing what you want each day, and when/if you choose french fries instead of a salad, then just observe your mind, body, and soul and make a healthier choice next time.

My Last Colonic: Being Comfortable with Discomfort

I was going to my colonic session at the office and my typical case of pre-colonic nerves came up. Then when I was receiving the colonic and the logjam began breaking up and about to 'let go' I went into my typical reaction of panic. It's a deep feeling in my gut and then in my brain of discomfort. I feel I want to run away from it. Then I got this brilliant insight, why don't I just get comfortable with the discomfort and go through it. I breathed and trusted in my most excellent therapist, Julianne! Lo and behold, I was able to release and stay on the table comfortably until the colonic was finished. The following two days I realized I had a breakthrough. I had relaxed my body and mind and I was eliminating better. I feel that my shift in attitude helped me release unconscious tension or holding patterns in my gut. Success. Now I am looking forward to more.

One Correspondent Writes about Her Colonic Experience

A person with whom I have been exchanging email shared her experience and then proposed an experiment. We do not have a residential program at our Intestinal Health Institute. However, we do have 'urban retreaters' who come in daily doing a 7-day intestinal cleanse. We are encouraging people to create more sacred space in their life and intestinal health through combining a colon hydrotherapy program with yoga, raw foods, fasting, meditation and other behaviors that bring about inner calm. You would create a daily schedule for 7 days and then stick with it! You can consult with us for any help creating your schedule. Now for the note:

It would be interesting to compare the effects of a 7 day residential program with 2 sessions a day and the effects of 14 sessions spread over one or two months.

In the first case, the one I experienced, the effect was magic and linked to the fact that a fasting program was also applied in a quiet environment without the stress of the daily life.

I was also astonished by the emotional release taking place around the 3rd and 4th days, the feeling of becoming lighter in all aspects.

I do believe that in the first case there is an extra factor that enhances strongly the cleansing. DB

The Hydrosan, Colon Hydrotherapy Equipment, For Sale!

"We bought it for a detox center but the woman who eventually worked it went to a different style treatment instead. I think it cost over $5000 new. It is about three years old, but has not been used much and not at all for 2 years. It does have filters as well.
I have a small private practice in addition to the newsletter. We see all kinds of interesting cases.
We would like to get $2950 for it but we are negotiable. It has a brand new pressure gauge.
Thanks for putting it out in your newsletter.

Sheila's Glog or Gut Log

My dear friend, To-Ree-Nee, an artist and energy worker in Tucson AZ, sent me this note about her tracking sessions. This might be the ideal way to bring in the New Year! I did a session with her last year to help with my extreme anxiety that occurred after buying my house and having my left hip replaced. It proved extremely insightful. Tracking is a process that works well in conjunction with colon hydrotherapy in getting the energy moving and in creating a sacred inner space. Here goes:

Tracking Sessions with To-Ree-Nee
Tracking Sessions grew out of my ability to track energy via a combination of several modalities that I've been involved with over the last 25 years: tarot readings, channeling, psycho-drama, shamanic astrology and creating ritual healing space. I liken it to tracking through the woods and through thickets. Sometimes you need help finding a clear path through the underbrush. My intention is to use these intuitive skills to help you move past blockages, to shift time and space to create an opening for clarity, creativity, change and growth.

To set an appointment please call (520) 319-8316 or my cell phone (520) 250-5590. For out of town clients, I can do Sessions over the phone. I charge $150.00 for a 2 hour Session. Because the holidays can be extra stressful, I am offering a special rate of $130.00 for a 2 hour Session for the month of December. Thank you and Bright blessings, To-Ree-Nee (trnwolf@...)

PS from Sheila. To-Ree-Nee is a great artist and muralist. She and her partner have an outstanding gallery in Tucson. Be sure to ask her about it if you are interested. I have 3 of her works of art!

Julianne's Corner

I am covering for Julianne this month and the topic is:

Holiday Get Away's!

You are ready, I know you are!

This fall I took a wonderful road trip from Tucson AZ to Gila Hot Springs NM led there by my yoga teacher. From Gila, I drove to Santa Fe to join my brother and his wife. While is Santa Fe, we drove to Jemez Hot Springs to visit a friend. We walked his beautiful property that is to become a healing retreat. (I'm ready now!) While is Santa Fe NM we also received a tour of the marvelous 10,000 Waves. 10,000 is a complete spa facility with all forms of hydrotherapy and massage as well as lodging facilities. Formerly, I visited another hot spring in the Silver City area, Mimbres and made numerous stops at two of the many hot springs in Truth or Consequences, Charles and Riverbend.

I got to thinking about the relationship of hydrotherapy to colon hydrotherapy, that's why I bring this up. Water has been used for thousands of years for healing. Hot springs, cold plunge, sweat lodge, sauna, steam, hot tub, ozonated Jacuzzi, hot packs, cold packs, ginger compresses are a few forms of hydrotherapy. So is colon hydrotherapy.

One of the major uses of hydrotherapy is to release toxins through the skin such as chemicals, drugs and metals. One of the major protocols for releasing drugs through the skin is sauna combined with colon hydrotherapy. When I practiced in Miami FL, clients on drug detox would come and receive colon hydrotherapy after their sauna session. This includes nicotine.

You might want to gear your next vacation around hydrotherapy in some way. You could do a tour of hot springs of your area or stay at 10,000 Waves for a long weekend. The idea would be to come home refreshed rather than recovering from your vacation! To feel best, remember to have a plan for 'pooping while traveling'!

Peace in the Gut in the New Year!

I realized after my shower this morning that I experience PEACE in my gut. I want to wish everyone peace in their gut in the New Year. What does that mean, peace in my gut? All I can say is that it was like "warfare" in my gut for so many years not to mention my mind.

My first memories of the warfare were the extreme discomfort of chronic constipation later combined with eating disorders. Others signs were a full weighty feeling in my gut because nothing was moving out, gas, distention, having my gut finally calm down and then pigging out once again or eating an apple and feeling immediate gas pain. One day at the beginning of my dietary change in New York in the mid seventies, I remember walking down the street and thinking for the first time, I do not have pain in my gut. That is the tip of the iceberg.

In 1995, I read Breaking the Vicious Cycle by Elaine Gottschall which describes the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD). I was over the eating disorders and well along the path of healing constipation when I read it. It all made sense and it was suggested for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). However, it covered those pesky symptoms of gas, bloat, distention and pain. I realize that healing the eating disorders and practicing SCD is bringing about peace in my gut.

I developed some necessary discipline over the years of healing the eating disorders. It's calm down there now. I do not freak out at parties and over the holidays. That's a sense of peace. I can focus on people. I do not have secret binges on complex carbs or fast foods.

One factor that is of immense help is cleansing the gut with water be it enemas or colonics. The half hour to hour session could relieve my gas and pain very quickly.

Another sign of my inner gut peace is that I do not feel cranky, irritable or crabby. That has lessened and I smile much more. My body is thinner around my gut. My gut is flatter. I do not have cravings. I do not run endless inner dialogues about how bad I feel after a binge or overeating episode. I have immense gratitude for the inner gut peace that has come about. I feel blessed to experience this hard won victory of inner gut peace!

In another vain, as I observe new clients come in, I wonder the best way to educate them about the colon hydrotherapy process. At entry level, many people need 3-5 sessions close together to get the energy moving, to get the waste moving, to stimulate the nerves and muscles to release and to get the logjam broken. Some are disappointed on that first colonic that they do not see a major avalanche moving.

Then there is the deeper cleansing level. Now that you have received some colonics, the next level is informing you that herbal oral intestinal and liver flushes are used to accompany colon hydrotherapy. The herbs allow for a deeper cleanse of the particular organ or organ systems. For example, people can do 5, 6, 7 or 28-day programs depending on the company and cleanse and go deeper in cleansing doing this. You can remove deeper layers of waste built up on the stomach, small and large intestinal walls. Then you can clear out the liver tubules and restore the liver restorative cells with herbs and diet accompanied by Colon Hydrotherapy.

So, we have two levels: entry and deeper cleansing. We work with ariseandshine.com for gut cleansing and http://www.herbdoc.com and http://www.ener-chi.com for liver cleanses. There are many more.

During the deeper cleansing, colonics can be taken daily, every other day, beginning, middle and end, and beginning and ending. Clients have taken colonics in all those ways.

What were some clients doing in December when many others were bogged down with overeating and other holiday indulgences? It's a tough time of year, health-wise. One client finished a 48-day juice fast. Another client embarked on and completed the Arise and Shine 28-day cleanse. One client home from travels straddled both holidays with an 8-day cleanse. Others who visited Tucson during the holidays took advantage of the time-off and came in for sessions. So, holidays may be used for cleansing programs to avoid the usual dietary "warfare". "I want it. It's not good for me. I'm already stuffed and I want more."

More clients are asking us how they can prepare for a colonic. One asked - do you want me to stop eating? That question is asked days before the appointment. I thought, hmmm, maybe the client would like to stop eating altogether to recover from holiday dietary shock! However, whether for constipation or in general, the following steps are best preparation:

Fluids-3-4 quarts daily, water, herb teas or raw juices

Fruits and vegetable only

Fasting only

Rest, meditation, breathing techniques

Exercise

School

The year is off to a big start. I am involved once again in the state license renewal project for my Colon Hydrotherapy School. We have the great honor of being licensed as a vocational trade school by the AZ ST Board for Private Postsecondary Education.

We are very proud of our new school. Our focus is very much on what is happening with the colonic process and how to facilitate cleansing. It is a proactive approach to cleansing rather than passive, like watching the viewing tube as a spectator.

We are offering apprenticeships in 2007 for some students for up to three weeks of practice and documentation. The prerequisite is certification by a state licensed or I-ACT recognized school.

Classes form monthly and we are now receiving applications for March and April.

Continuing Education

My brother, Mike Shea, of http://www.mikesheateaching.com is offering a 4-day workshop from April 12-15 in Tucson AZ on Abdominal Visceral Manipulation. The URL may also be found on my site-opening page

http://www.sheilashea.com/Visceral_manipulation_2006.pdf

I attended a continuing education seminar on the Arvigo Mayan Abdominal Massage over January 5-7, 2007. It was outstanding and opened my eyes to a whole new world of working with the gut. I encourage all of you who need CEU's and/or who are contemplating a career in Colon Hydrotherapy to check out the website and follow up.

Constipation Club Notes

Clients comment frequently how difficult it is to maintain a good diet while traveling. Many years of eating disorders built up my discipline and the desire to feel good not feel bad. I got tired of 'feeling bad' physically, emotionally and mentally from what I had eaten. Very often dietary infringements while traveling happen when people are still tempted by fast food or use traveling as an excuse to eat anything. Some people get off track on the trip and keep driving down that road.

Ideas:

Have food prepared and in a cooler in vehicle or bag on plane. Take it with you.

Choose the great salads, cut fruits, juices and nuts now in airports.

Use traveling as an opportunity to drink more water and/or tea.

Use vacation time as an opportunity to go to a healing retreat.

On that last note, I encourage people to take their vacations to retreats that offer raw food, fasting, colonics, yoga, hot springs and the like. Use your vacation to recover, heal, rest and behavior modify. For example, my friend Jill Schneider just sent me a link to her up and coming retreats. Go for it! Please send me any links you have to healing retreats and I will post them in my newsletters and on my links page.

If you go to this, write me and let me know how it goes so I can let others know.

Our Intestinal Health Institute is having a wonderful health education event this March to which you are all invited. Dr Ken Fine will be giving a talk. Here are the details!

Gluten-Sensitivity and Other Inflammatory Aspects of Our Modern World:

An Introduction to 'Anti-Inflammatory Living'

By Dr. Kenneth Fine

The presentation will take place at the

Tucson Jewish Community Center

3800 E River Road (Dodge)

In the Jewish Heritage Center

On Monday, March 19 from 6:30 to 8:30 PM

The presentation is free and open to the public.

Dr. Fine is a board-certified internal medicine doctor and gastroenterologist, professionally involved in patient care, medical research, and teaching for over 18 years. The presentation will focus on the latest science, age-old wisdom, and common sense solutions to combat and remedy the ill-effects of gluten and other inflammatory aspects of the modern world we live in: intestinal disorders, chronic inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, fibromyalgia, chemical sensitivity, chronic fatigue and depression.

I would love to have you come to the talk and bring your friends and family. This is a great opportunity to inspire and educate you. The spring season is a great time to take the next step in your healing and transformational process.

Spring and Equinox are typically times of cleansing as we let go of the old and we nurture the new. Consider an intestinal, liver or parasite herbal cleanse combined with dietary shift and colon hydrotherapy. Bring in the NEW YOU!

Here are Dr Fine's websites so that you may do your research before the lecture.

School

We graduated another student in February and are looking forward to another great year of teaching and training in Colon Hydrotherapy in 2007!

I have asked that students interested in taking our Program please take time to read the catalog, application and enrollment forms in detail. That is the first step.

The next step would be to read over carefully the prerequisites of the Program. There are 60 hours of important preparation in advance of attending the six-day intensive. Part One of the prerequisites consists of two courses, one in Anatomy and Physiology, the other in Business Mastery3. Part Two consists of reading two texts relating to the overall GI system as well as the most congenial diet for the GI tract. Part Three are the two texts that I send you. I have formulated my own written materials that I mail you along with the Safety Manual. The prerequisite process takes about one to two months to complete. The written information prepares you very well for entry into the residential component of the Program, the six-day intensive in Tucson combining lecture and practicum.

It concerns me that some students wish to rush the entrance process and do not fully understand the depth and seriousness of the field, the need for a fully prepared and focused presence in the classroom and treatment room.

The Intestinal Health Institute offers the best education possible in Colon Hydrotherapy. I want each student to represent that excellence in his or her practice. I encourage you to come well prepared and focused for the six-day Program. Please write me with any concerns or questions you may have.

Continuing Education

My brother Michael Shea PhD is offering a four-day Abdominal Visceral Manipulation workshop from April 12-15 in Tucson AZ. Upon graduation, each student will receive 26 CEU hours under the NCBTMB. Check out the sites below for registration info.

Dear Amy,

Thank you for your note. The cost of the class in Tucson is $495. It

requires a deposit of $200 to hold your space in class. The class is

limited to a maximum of 20 students to ensure your learning. I learned the

work from its founder, Dr. Barral, in France. He has written five books on

the subject. This basic class goes over the organs of the liver, intestines

and bladder. Techniques will be learned to help these organs move in a

normal direction. The hands on work will involve not only palpating the

organs themselves, but feeling how they might be restricted with the tissues

that are attached to them.

This is really good work for massage therapists and colon hydrotherapists or

anyone doing rehab work on the body. We will learn not only direct, but

also indirect and gentle technique for the intestines. This includes

learning how the organs develop and their adult anatomy and physiology.

Plus I like to have a lot of fun and I anticipate that this will be a really

fun class.

I look forward to meeting you. Please call me at the number below if you

want to talk further.

Sincerely,

Michael

Office

Spring is still in the air in Tucson and many of us are still involved in doing some great spring cleansings! The most popular at the office is the Arise and Shine 7-day cleanse. The cleanse comes in a box with all the herbs in packets, with very clear instructions for taking and for diet. Seven days is a period of time that most people can let go of their food and drink fixes and focus on healing and repairing their intestinal walls. The diet is also alkalizing and as some of you might know, disease thrives in an acidic environment in our bodies.

I decided to do a liver flush this week. It is the 5-day with the Dr Shultz products. It has two tinctures, a tea, two drinks and raw food on Monday and Friday and fasting Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. I am choosing to do raw food daily as I do not eat that much. The last two liver flushes I did do the fasting and it was fine. I even played in a tennis league the third night of the fast so if you are worried about energy chances are you will have more when you eat raw food and/or fast!

Why am I doing this now? I feel I need to break some habits and that is another reason for taking on a cleanse. It does not make any difference what the habits are. I think we all get into patterns many of which are not helpful or healthful. Voila, the cleanses allow us to focus on the positive and set up new habits. The cleanses allow us to let go of some poor habits for a brief period of time. It my case, I wanted to take a break from coffee and half and half plus clean my liver.

I encourage you to jump in and find a cleanse you like and go for it. We have a client doing the Dr Natura three-month program. She is highly motivated and preparing herself to have a child.

March and April were very busy with educational events. Ken Fine MD gave a 'fine' talk in Tucson on his work testing for celiac and microscopic colitis. His lab in Dallas http://www.enterolab.com is cutting edge to discover gluten and other sensitivities before they have done irreversible damage to the gut wall. Apparently, one can go to the site and initiate testing without a medical prescription. He commented that a majority of the public that is relatively symptom-free is allergic to the glutinous grains, oats, wheat, rye, oats and barley.

From my observations at the office, many clients suffer from malabsorption, one of the symptoms of gluten sensitivity as well as celiac disease. Malabsorption is the inability to digest and absorb one's food. In the viewing tube, it might appear as undigested food particles, excessive gas, foam, froth or bubbles, and steatorrhea. Dr Fine noted many other common immune and inflammatory problems today such as fibromyalgia, CFS, arthritis, psoriasis and ALS are attributable to dietary allergens mainly complex carbohydrates like the glutinous grains. We work with you on nutrition at the office when you are interested in new insights and behavior modification.

Julianne and I encourage you to do colon cleansing along with your herbal cleansings of the liver and intestines. Some are doing daily colonics, others do the colonic at the beginning, middle and end of the cleanse. Go for it and take time to change your patterns and heal yourself. Take time to feel good physically, emotionally and mentally!

We also changed our price structure in April. We are offering better prices on the packages of 3, 5, 8 and 10 colonic sessions. More clients are doing more colonic sessions closer together with dietary change and cleansing programs in a concentrated amount of time. Check the website for the new prices.

School

Our school for colon hydrotherapy is growing every day. The new catalog is online and some of the changes simplify the application procedure. Students are now requested to submit (among other documents) copies of diplomas and/or certificates from their two most recent academic and holistic institutions. Before, I asked for the transcripts.

We also close matriculation or ability to apply one month before the Program date. We want to give you time to do the prerequisites and other preparatory reading to prepare for your week at the school.

We are getting more requests from across the country from spas and clinics that are looking for colon hydrotherapists. Hydrotherapists are in demand so please consider putting in your application to take advantage of this need. Many spas are adding colonics as one of their services. Many medical offices now include colonics as part of their protocol.

Continuing Education

My brother, Michael Shea, was in Tucson teaching a Visceral Manipulation Workshop from April 12-15. We had 15 students from all over the country and one from Canada. We had 5 colon therapists, 5 massage therapists and 5 craniosacral practitioners. It was a good group and the learning was profound. Abdominal Visceral Manipulation is one of the few teachings that have direct application for colon therapists. Michael spent time with embryology, anatomy and physiology of the organs and then the palpation or manipulation of the organs in the GI cavity.

One of the key learnings for me was the nature of the relationship between the client and practitioner. Optimally, both are healing in the course of a session. The practitioner can go within and find her stillpoints. We have three: one near the third ventricle of the brain, one in the heart area and the third in the abdominal area. I learned to identify them and it does create a peaceful situation within when I can focus on my stillpoints and help the client to do the same. The whole focus that Michael has, is that we need to slow our tempos down. Breathing, going within and focusing on the stillpoints are a few methods to slow our tempos. With a slower tempo, we evoke the parasympathetic nervous system that allows us to relax and release!

Michael will return next year to teach Trauma Resolutions Skills. I will be notifying all of you when we set the schedule. I encourage you to continue to learn in the field of colon hydrotherapy. For further exploration and to find out about Mike's new book, you may go to his site.

My friend, Tuesday, wrote this and sent it on to me. I think some of us will relate! This gets back to the benefits of behavior modification to find wisdom!

Preparing for my 10-day Internal Cleanse!

The Facts by Tuesday

Breakfast was coffee and cigarettes, sometimes lunch, too. Add in a quarter cup of Half & Half by the end of the day and a pack of cigarettes a day for 20 plus years.

The stubborn stains on my teeth, on my coffee pot and the stubborn pounds gathering more heavily on my 39-year old frame compelled me to rethink my daily routine.

To begin, I stopped drinking coffee. It felt strange at first. However, by not beginning my morning with the 'twins,' I could wake up and be immediately productive. I was no longer cranky, uncommunicative or sluggish. I found that I smoked far less during the day when I was not nursing a cup of coffee.

I had not had any coffee for about 3 weeks. I had not had any caffeine, sugar, dairy or alcohol in preparation for a 10-day internal cleanse program. I felt very good, very in control. One afternoon, I felt like making a pot of coffee!

I picked up a pint of Half & Half, unearthed the beans from the freezer and brewed up a pot. At first, it did not taste that good but I kept drinking it. This was my old friend, a pleasure, something I used to do all the time. It felt good to visit, old self, old friend and I finished the pot over the course of some hours.

I remarked to myself how powerful a drug coffee is, as I felt it animate me and how unaware of this power I had been when I used it every day. As ever, it replaced all perceived need for nourishing food or water and I really was getting so much done!

I am usually in bed by 11 PM, not a bit of a night owl. As I rocked into the night, later and later, vibrating with caffeine and milk sugar, I had to laugh. Who was in control here? 2 AM, 3 AM, 4 AM. I had stayed up all night and not by choice.

I was haggard now, seeking only to calm my jittery body and close my eyes before the sun came up and the birds began to sing. Sometimes, old friends just do not fit our lives any more and must be relegated to nostalgia. Bye, bye coffee, old chum. I will remember you fondly and if I encounter you in the future, I will treat you with more respect.

Julianne

We had many clients visit us from out of town this winter. Diana decided to write down her experience of weight loss and colonics. Weight loss is a big deal and very difficult for many people. I hope this is helpful and inspiring for some of you. Diana is a tiger!

I am a 66-year old retired teacher/librarian. I have been living in remote Alaska for the past 14 years. Alternative medical choices were very limited. Organic food was not available. Potluck dinners are a major social event. So, while I living there, I gained about 25 pounds. I became more lethargic and continued to gain weight until I was at an all-time high--probably about 75 pounds overweight. I had difficulty eliminating and was getting to the point that about all I expelled were little rabbit pellets. My ribcage and abdominal area were getting so large and I was becoming so uncomfortable.

We left our rural town and moved to Anchorage the last of August. I knew that my number one priority was to get myself healthy if I was going to enjoy my retirement years. I found a colon hydrotherapist and I started twice-a-week treatments with her. I also started a juice fast diet on September 1, 2006. I was pretty faithful to that for about 5 months except for three weeks in October in which I was traveling and then became ill. During the time, I was fasting on vegetable juice and taking supplements, I lost 55 pounds. The juice fast was for cleaning out my small intestine while I was having the colonics twice weekly.

I also was taking biotone treatments, which were electronic impulses into the fat parts of my body. My therapist said that this 45-minute treatment four times per week was like a workout in the gym. I could feel my heart rate pick up. So, I got this exercise while lying on a table. My therapist also did some body wraps on me, which helped shrink my fat cells. Consequently, I lost many inches, as my cellulite was decreasing and my intestines were cleansing. I went from size 18-20 size pants to a size 10.

My husband and I left for warmer climates towards the end of January, 5 months after I started my treatment. I found a colon hydrotherapist in Tallahassee, Florida who gave me some very good eating tips--eating according to my blood type and learning how to combine foods.

Then we came to Tucson and we located Sheila Shea on the Internet. My husband and I have had several colonics treatments from her clinic. We have received many more helpful eating tips. We are realizing that this cleansing and eating process is a journey on which we must travel for the rest of our lives. There will never be a time when I am completely clean and can stop thinking about colonics and good diet.

Sheila told me yesterday that my abdominal bulge was due to the complex carbohydrates which I have been eating my entire life. I grew up and lived for half my life on a wheat farm. Needless to say, the women in our family were all excellent bread and pie bakers. Now I have come to the realization that those days must come to an end.

I would recommend colon hydrotherapy for anyone who would like his or her quality of life to be better. I feel so much better than I used to. I do not get so tired during the afternoon and evening. My energy level is much higher. I have not had a lot of difficulty in staying away from most of the foods that I should not be eating. Once in awhile I eat something that does not agree with me. My body lets me know it. I am proud of myself and my husband proudly tells people, "My wife has lot 55 pounds!" I would much rather be wearing size 10 jeans than an 18-20.

Thanks so much to Karen in Anchorage, Carlos in Tallahassee, Julianne and Sheila in Tucson!! You saved my life!!

Diana W. Anchorage, Alaska

July 2007 Newsletter

Office

Thirty Years of Experience and Excellence

I have much to celebrate this month and this year. It was 30 years ago in July of 1977 that I began to practice colon hydrotherapy in Miami, Florida. This December it will be 20 years of practice in Tucson, Arizona. I thank all of you who have become clients and have taken such good intestinal care of yourselves.

When I began practicing, I never saw conditions such as Chronic Fatigue and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. Candida was not even mentioned. The types of conditions that I see now are much more serious and complicated than 15 to 30 years ago. Even in the last few years, the incidence of Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Malabsorption Syndrome has increased extraordinarily.

Part-time Colon Hydrotherapist Position Opening at Office

I am looking for a certified colon hydrotherapist who would like to work 3 days at my office. The certification can be from an I-ACT recognized, state-licensed or other international 100-hour program school.

I have an application for the position at: http://www.sheilashea.com/ApplicationCHP.pdf

What I would like to do with my time when I am not at the office is to Write.
I would like to update my website, the office handouts and the Colon Hydrotherapy Manual that I give to my students. I might also have the opportunity to teach overseas and I would like to be prepared with a competent and compassionate therapist who can manage the office while I am writing and/or away.

Call or email me if you have questions about the application form or the position. 520-325-9686 or intestines@...

New Client Profiles

Many of you ask what kind of clients comes to the office, how old are they, and am I the only one? You express curiosity about the practice. I thought this month I would review most of the new clients that came in for colon hydrotherapy in the last 2 months and give you little profiles. The study is based on approximately 54 new clients.

First, you are not the only one nor are you alone in whatever condition or situation you present.

What is the major age group that I see? Of the 54 clients, 9 were in their 20's, 4 in their 50's, 4 in their 60's and 1 in his 70's. So the people in their 20's were equal to those in their 50', 60's and 70's combined. Seventeen clients were in their 30's and 19 in their 40's. So most people that came were in their 30' and 40's. Some people think that only the elderly takes colonics. More younger people receive colonics than the elderly.

What were some of the reasons people cited for coming in? The majority of clients wanted to improve elimination and/or lose weight. Many people were constipated, bloated and gaseous and felt very uncomfortable. More recently, more people over 200 pounds and a handful over 300 pounds are making a big effort to knock the weight off. I applaud them and am very excited to work with them. They inspire me. One man in his 40's was doing the Jenny Craig program and had 3 colonics in 3 days. He did not know he could feel so well, 'lose his shelf' as he calls it and feel lighter.

Many came in to cleanse, to detoxify, to jumpstart a healthier lifestyle of diet and exercise, to do a liver flush, to do the Arise and Shine 7-day Cleanse, to reduce Irritable Bowel Syndrome symptoms of extreme gas and bloating and to make a clean start.

Each person has more than one condition. For example, one person with constipation has Chronic Fatigue, fibromyalgia and depression. My latest favorite book is Gut and Psychology Syndrome http://www.medinform.co.uk/ by Natasha Campbell-McBride MD. She is a neurologist and nutritionist in London and writes about how many mental and emotional conditions are caused by our complex carbohydrate consumption as well as gluten (grain protein) and casein (milk protein).

On the other side of the general fatigue that many feel, clients desire greater stamina, energy and clarity. People express a desire to get back in shape and have balance in their life.

One woman was so bound in her intestines that she could only eat one small meal a day and with much difficulty. It took nearly 5 sessions to allow elimination to flow more freely. She noticed a slow ability to eat a little more.

A handful of the women in their 30's and 40's have 3 young children. They find time in their busy schedule to receive colonics and take care of themselves. It is their time to relax and release. Two of the men in their 30's that weighed over 300 pounds were motivated by the example they would set for their young children. One very fit 40-year old wrote as his goal: "revamping general health and wellness for self and family." I realize that family health and role modeling for young children is a discussion and practice in many families

A small group of clients came in who are preparing to marry in the next week or month. They come in together and work on their health together.

Kevin Trudeau's book Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About has motivated many to come in and do a series of colonics.

Back pain often attributable to an impacted, weighted colon motivated one person.

One person in her 50's came in because of a 'megacolon.' Many of you have not heard of that. A megacolon is an enormously enlarged and distended area or multiple areas of the colon. In x-rays, it can look like a large ballooned area. The colon hydrotherapy is good for megacolon because it exercises the muscles and allows the ballooning to shrink down. I had another megacolon case a few years ago, a man in his 60's with Parkinson's and multiples areas of ballooning in the gut. We had 3 sets of x-rays taken before and during the colonic sessions. I had a GI friend come to the office to interpret them. The x-rays indicated that the colon hydrotherapy had reduced the megacolon over the 2 years that he received the sessions.

Some clients did not write this as a reason to come in however I noticed it in their Health Questionnaires: skin condition such as eczema, psoriasis or dermatitis herpetiformis. Skin conditions may be a sign of celiac disease, a major inflammatory bowel disease of the digestive and absorptive surface of the small intestines. I also noticed that too many young people have heartburn and/or reflux both of which are inflammatory conditions of the upper GI system.

Many new clients also experienced migraines and headaches. Some had a migraine or splitting headache while receiving their first colonic. Some had headaches and migraines weekly.

So now, you have a little profile of some of the new clients in the last 2 months. They are a small snapshot of the Intestinal Health Institute colonic world.

School

The School is going through a renovation and it is quite exciting. Painting, flooring, lighting, furniture and artwork are all in process. I am looking forward to teaching and working with students in the newly renovated space.

In the meantime, I want to remind student applicants of the protocol of registration, acceptance and payment. First, let me list the classes remaining from August through December.

August 6 to August 11

September 17 to September 22 (Application due August 10)

October 8 to October 13 (Application due August 31)

November 5 to November 10 (Application due October 30)

December 3 to December 8 (Application due November 26)

Working backward, final payment for each Program is due 30 days before the first day of class. If the class is August 6, then final payment is due July 6. That means that I need the Application form and related documents together at least a week before that so that would be around June 30. In that week, I review your documents and have an interview with you. I notify you of acceptance and then you are ready to sign the Enrollment Agreement and make payment 30 days in advance of the Program start date i.e. August 6. As you can tell, Enrollment is closed for the August Program.

Applications are due for the September 17 Program by August 10 and the Enrollment Agreement signing and final payment are due August 17.

Why does the Intestinal Health Institute require this 5-week lead-time before the Program start date? The reason is that you as a new student have prerequisites to start and many books to read to prepare for the Program. You have two prerequisite courses and 5 books to read. That's a brainful to handle in one month.

I request that the Application Form, the registration fee and all requested documents be handed in, in one package. If not, it does delay the acceptance process.

Continuing Education

I have good news for all of us. My brother, Michael Shea PhD is returning to Tucson AZ April 10-13, 2008 to teach a workshop entitled Trauma Resolution Skills. It is related to his work in Biodynamic Cranial Sacral Therapy. I am reading his newly released text Biodynamic Cranial Sacral Therapy Volume I. It has tremendous application for colon hydrotherapists and I encourage all of you to read it. More details of the workshop will be provided in the future newsletters!

http://www.michaelsheateaching.com/osCommerce/catalog/

Blog

I have a request from a client. Many people suffer from COPD, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. My mother had it. BTW, lungs are linked to large intestines in Chinese medicine. I am asking if anyone out there has any suggestions, herbs, books, cleansing, healing programs for the lungs. Many are suffering and I thought I would put the word out. I will publish the answers in the next newsletter.

Food is always a big topic with people. I had 2 dinner parties over 4th of July. I made a few new raw dishes and friends brought some raw dishes or a complex sugar free recipe. How radical! Anyway, I thought I would share one of the drinks. It's fun to make in the summer and it's excellent for the liver gall bladder flush. It's called Electrolyte Lemonade.

Electrolyte Lemonade

3 organic lemons, yellow skin removed, white pith intact
3 tablespoons oil: flax, olive, or coconut butter (I use coconut)
1 organic pear, cored (I use two pears)
1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt
6 cups distilled water
6 tablespoons raw honey, maple syrup, or liquid stevia, to taste (I use raw honey)

Blend all ingredients well in blender. A healing and remarkably refreshing beverage. The lemon and oil detoxify while boosting the immune system. Citrus pectin restores absorption of fats. Add other fruits to enhance flavor, such as peach or apple. An excellent beverage for keeping the bowels moving.

Makes one pitcher.

This beverage plays an essential role in Jubbs 14-Day LifeFood Nutritional Fast (Gallbladder Flush). See LifeFood Nutritional Fasting, Chapter 10.

Taken from: LifeFood Recipe Book: Living on the Life Force by Annie and David Jubb

Have a wonderful summer and remember, summer is a great time to heal and cleanse using juices, raw foods, colonics, liver flushes and intestinal herbal cleanses. It's hot and you stay cool. Contact me if you want me to help you with colonic, dietary, fasting or cleansing planning.

Hi CoraLyn,
I forgot to mention to you that I also send the newsletter link to my group
on Yahoo. "IntestinalNewsletterY" <IntestinalNewsletter@yahoogroups.com>,
that's the email I send it to. My friend who is an editor and writer suggested
that I have the newsletter appear whole in the email rather than the link
because people are more likely to delete it. Are you able to create an
email to the address above, the yahoo group, that when they open it they
see the newsletter in it's entirety. Let me know. Thanks, Sheila

Sorry this is so late getting to you. This was written in April and now it's June.

I would certainly love to have you be able to see the newsletter without clicking
on it however yahoo does not make that available.

http://www.sheilashea.com/newsletter/may10.html

I am already in the process of writing the June/July newsletter. However, enjoy
the current masterpiece! Lots of goodies to read about. And, the Costa Rica
Raw Food Retreat was awesome for all involved. We plan on doing it again.

Love and blessings to you,
Sheila
